Question: Does your firm provide a refund if we can't raise assets through using this database of contacts?

Answer: No, while the data included in this database is publicly available our team spent hundreds of hours compiling, sorting and organizing it so that it may be easily used within almost any CRM system or as a standalone capital raising or career management tool. Once the database has been purchased and delivered the full value has been realized and we cannot provide a refund once the transaction has been completed, unless you find a few entries which are in error.

Question: Why does your firm only release 100 copies of each version of the Private Equity Directory? Isn't that bad for business?

Answer: Yes, it is bad for business over the short term, but we see it as a necessary evil in order for us to offer a valuable exclusive resource over the long-haul. By slowly releasing this resource to only 100 firms with each version we release the data becomes more valuable to our clients.

Question: What percentage of the private equity firms are based in Europe vs. the US?
